five hundred miles

If you miss the train I'm on
you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles..

Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two,
Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four,
Lord I'm 500 miles from my home
Lord I'm five hundred miles from my home..

Not a shirt on my back,
not a penny to my name
Lord I can't go a-home this a-way..
